all proposed
After considering /Evidence and discussing proposals with other arbitrators, parties and others at /Workshop place proposals which are ready for voting here.
Arbitrators should vote for or against each point or abstain.
Conditional votes for or against and abstentions should be explained by the Arbitrator before or after his/her time-stamped signature. For example, an Arbitrator can state that she/he would only favor a particular remedy based on whether or not another remedy/remedies were passed.
On this case, no Arbitrators are recused and 5 are inactive, so 5 votes are a majority.
Proposed wording to be modified by Arbitrators and then voted on. Non-Arbitrators may comment on the talk page.
Place those on /Workshop.
Four net "support" votes needed to pass (each "oppose" vote subtracts a "support")

1) {text of proposed orders}
1) Wikipedia:Assume good faith contemplates the extension of courtesy and good will to other editors on the assumption that they, like you, are here to build an information resource with a neutral point of view.
2) Information based on reliable published sources in acceptable. Lack of access to published literature by a contestant in an content dispute is not a basis for removal of well-sourced information.
3) Wikipedia:Neutral point of view contemplates fair expression of all significant viewpoints regarding the subject of an article.
4) A user who regularly and aggressively engages in biased editing with respect to an area of editing may be restricted with respect to editing in that area.
5) A matter comes before the Arbitration Committee when the procedures of Wikipedia:Resolving disputes fail. The results of Arbitration are much less satisfactory then successful mediation would be. Mediation can result in a comprehensive solution crafted by those familiar with the details of the dispute, while the results of Arbitration are often a crude, often somewhat arbitrary suppression of whomever is the cause of the "trouble". Users are advised to avoid Arbitration and its often unsatisfactory results by employing negotiation and mediation effectively.
1) The locus of this dispute is a dispute between Andres_C. ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) and Messhermit ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) regarding alleged nationalistic editing of articles which relate to conflicts between Ecuador and Peru, see Talk:History of the Ecuadorian-Peruvian territorial dispute/Flamewar. Biased versions of events are part of the popular culture of both Peru and Ecuador, History of the Ecuadorian-Peruvian territorial dispute#Education and public perception.
2) Messhermet fails to assume good faith, regarding Andres_C. as an opponent [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], and [7].
3) Messhermit, for whatever reason, has internet access but does not seem to have good access to the written sources [8] cited by Andres C., and is not willing to accept them, see Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Messhermit/Evidence#Messhermit_has_repeatedly_called_into_question_my_good_faith.2C_and_misinterprets_Wikipedias.27_policy_on_Verifiability and [9]. Andres C.'s citations are not detailed, being only to books rather than to specific passages in specific books, but are generally acceptable [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15], [16] [17], [18], and [19].
4) Messhermit has made personal attacks [20], [21], [22], and [23].

6) Messhermit has engaged in sustained edit warring [30] and Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Messhermit/Evidence#Messhermit_violates_Wikipedia.27s_official_policy_on_Resolving_disputes_and_disregards_Wikipedia.27s_guidelines_on_Wikiquette_and__Reaching_Consensus.
7) Messhermit has been unable or unwilling to effectively use the earlier steps in Wikipedia:Resolving disputes, see Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Messhermit/Evidence#Messhermit_violates_Wikipedia.27s_official_policy_on_Resolving_disputes_and_disregards_Wikipedia.27s_guidelines_on_Wikiquette_and__Reaching_Consensus.
8) Andres C. ( talk · contribs) has engaged in edit warring opposite Messhermit, for example at History of the Ecuadorian-Peruvian territorial dispute, and has characterized Messhermit's edits as vandalism [31].
9) Andres C. ( talk · contribs) has made several personal attacks and other insulting remarks toward Messhermit, including making fun of his English and calling him a moron. ( [32], [33])
Note: All remedies that refer to a period of time, for example to a ban of X months or a revert parole of Y months, are to run concurrently unless otherwise stated.
1) Messhermit is banned for one year from editing articles which relate to the conflict between Peru and Ecuador. He may make comments and suggestions on article talk pages.
2) Messhermit is placed on Probation for two years. He may be banned from any article or talk page which he disrupts by any administrator. All bans to be logged at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Messhermit#Log of blocks and bans.
2.1) Messhermit is placed on Probation for one year. He may be banned from any article or talk page which he disrupts by any administrator. All bans to be logged at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Messhermit#Log of blocks and bans.
3) Andres C. is placed on Probation for one year. He may be banned from any article or talk page which he disrupts by any administrator. All bans to be logged at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Messhermit#Log of blocks and bans.
1) Should either Messhermit or Andres C. violate any ban imposed by this decision, they may be briefly blocked, for up to a week for repeat offenses. After five blocks, the maximum block shall increase to one year. All blocks are to be logged at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Messhermit#Log of blocks and bans.
Clerks and arbitrators should use this section to clarify their understanding of the final decision--at a minimum, a list of items that have passed. Additionally, a list of which remedies are conditional on others (for instance a ban that should only be implemented if a mentorship should fail), and so on. Arbitrators should not pass the motion until they are satisfied with the implementation notes.
